Over seven hundred people saw the first game of the Harvard nine, on Jarvis field, last Saturday, in which Harvard beat by a score of 26 to 0. The game was well played on the whole, by Harvard, only two errors being made outside of the battery. The Harvard pitchers prevented Andover from getting even a base hit, while Harvard got twelve. This, however, was by no means a sign of good batting by Harvard, since twelve base is only a small fraction of forty-one times at bat. In batting is where Harvard needs the most improvement. The Harvard...
...second of Mr. E. Charlton Black's delightful literature lectures was given last evening, and Sever 11 was filled with a large and appreciative audience. Last week, Mr. Black began by saying, we saw that Shakespeare was a man of good common sense, and excellent judgment. Regarding the extent of his education, there has been not a little discussion, but it is significant that Ben Jonson, with his large Latin, and much Greek, has now become no more than a subject for antiquarian investigation.

...reasons for the poets' greatness, lie in the fact that he adequately expressed in words, what he felt and saw. Whether he was the greatest man that ever lived or not, is a question for controversy, but I think no one will deny that he was the greatest expresser the world has ever seen.

...like. Men of large observation are the authors of the greatest works of human literature. The Iliad and Odyssey give evidence of this; with St. Augustine it was the same. Dante, during his long weary exile devoted himself to observation. Shakspere, it is needless to speak of. Goethe saw things as did no one else. Browning's greatness lies in the results of his observation. These are the great names in the literary history of the world. The same statements, however, are true of the lesser characters; - Scott, Burns, Gray, Wordsworth, Dickens, Thackeray and Jane Austen. The power of observation...
...spiritual resurrection, that we are dead spiritually, dead in sin. Christ has the power to raise from bodily and spiritual death. The only way Christ could make the multitude understand was by signs. The people whom Christ fed at Galilee came only for earthly bread. The people only saw the signs that Christ gave, and he said himself that they did not appreciate them - even his very disciples could not understand them. It is possible to have this life of Christ, even if we can seen no signs of it. Most of us do not show it even...
